I can guarantee you will get a good workout. I started by just taking my 2 kids and my wife there. The kids have so much fun. Plus you get a whole hour for them so you can go and run your errands or you can stay and watch. As I said I started by watching. It looked like they were having so much fun so I decided I wanted to try. I may even make it to the next belt. He also teaches weapons on Tues and Thurs. What are you waiting for? Free? They offer it! So you really have no excuse. Review it yourself. See you there.

We met Sensei Ferguson at the City of Everett's karate class at Forest Park (he teaches this class), but there were so many kids in the class that my daughter couldn't focus, so we started going to his dojo. What a difference! He is so patient and kind with little ones! He takes the time to get to know your child and their skill level, and teaches with humor and kindness. We love this place!

I am a Director of Camp Mariposa, a free camp for youth whose lives have been impacted by addiction. Sensei Rick brought a crew of 6 people to provide a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu interactive demonstration for the youth enrolled at our camp. Prior to camp Sensei Rick made sure to gain clear understanding in order to support the youth as much as possible, discuss concerns that may be present, and mindful of potential traumas that our youth may carry. Each and every member of CMAA present was thoughtful, intentional, and fantastic with interacting with the youth present at camp. Afterwards, our campers were crowing and glowing about the experience, and I had several parents call to thank us for giving their youth the opportunity to participate in an activity such as this. I would recommend anyone considering hiring, enrolling, or participating in Cascade Martial Arts Academy to give them a visit. You will not be disappointed!

One of my proudest moments in life was when I joined the Washington Shotokan Association Dojo. The dojo is a delightful spotless and clean, dedicated facility with a floating wood floor and large changing rooms with showers. It's a great place to learn traditional Japanese karate and grow as a person with smart, gracious, and learned educators. they are profoundly dedicated to their students. You can enjoy adult and youth programs. Whether you are looking for a good workout that will teach you self-defense or want an activity for the kids that will teach them discipline and respect while keeping them physically active, WSA dojo is the perfect choice. I had the opportunity to attend different classes with different instructors. At anytime I was very happy to learn to practice differently, something is important to have the passion, and need to learn with love, feeling and respect, you'll never regret. I'm thankful to every one of the educators, senseis, sempais, and understudies I had the delight of meeting in every one of the classes I joined in. All those memories stay alive forever. I continue training nonstop, keeping in my mind and in practice the principles of the repeated Dojo Kun: * Seek perfection of character * Be Faithful * Endeavor * Respect others * Refrain from violent behavior Oss! I hope return to train with you, with my family WSA, soon. With warmest regards, Miloud B.
